My dad got this when I was eleven to take me on a dall sheep hunt with. After that he hung onto it and used it as his primary deer rifle, said he estimated about 30 deer, a couple dall sheep, and a few caribou with it. Of course I jumped all over it when he offered to send it along to me, but "it needs to be sighted in". So today I took it to the range and dialed it in. Suffice to say that I'm completely blown away by this rifle. This was a 50 yard range on a benchrest so double all numbers for a 100-yd grouping, but still. Sub-MOA on the last magazine with the last three shots cloverleafed at 0.20" with cheap Federal from a hot barrel. Completely gobsmacked.

Sometimes it be's that way. You really need to shoot at 100 when you get the chance.
Nice shooting.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

Kinda what I thought or a 250/257.
Nice shooter. The BLR's have seemed to always have a heavy trigger. Don't remember what they were like back then though.
